Little Shop of Horrors Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...Stroll down Skid Row to visit Mushnik’s Flower Shop and immerse yourself in Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s musical masterpiece Little Shop of Horrors at South Coast Repertory. This musical has it all. A love story, a dream for the future, a chance of a lifetime, and a Faustian agreement struck between an alien man-eating plant and our downtrodden hero! Sound familiar? You may have seen Roger Corman’s low-budget 1960s dark comedy film, or the 1986 Frank Oz musical movie on which it’s based. At South Coast Rep, you get all the songs that were cut from the movie."
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...For SCR's impressive brand new local revival, the show gets a hyper-hybrid treatment helmed by Jenn Thompson, combining memorable, nostalgic elements inspired by the original but then infusing it with super-fun 21st-century sass and sensibilities. Alongside its jawdropping visual splendor—highlighted by its gigantic carnivorous star that literally takes over the stage by the second act—the show also features a superb, talented ensemble cast that sing and dance up a storm."
